　　The story of how the song “Happy Birthday to You”came into being, began as a sweet one, which later soured. Two sisters, Mildred Hill, a teacher at the Louisville, Kentucky Experimental Kinder-garten（幼儿园）, and Dr Patty Hill, the principal（院长，负责人）of the same school, together wrote a song for the children, entitled “Good Morning to All”. When Mildred combined her musical talents with her sister's expertise（专长）in the area of Kin-dergarten Education, “Good Morning to All”was sure to be a success.

　　The sisters published the song in a collection entitled “Song Stories of the Kindergarten”in 1893. Twenty-one years later, after Dr Patty Hill became the head of the Department of Kindergarten Education at Columbia University's Teacher College, a gentleman by the name of Robert H. Coleman published the song, without the sisters' permission. To add insult（侮辱）to injury, he added a second verse, the familiar “Happy Birthday to You”.

　　Mr Coleman's addition of the second verse popularized the song and, finally, the sisters' original first verse disappeared. “Happy Birthday to You”, the one and only birthday song, had altogether replaced the sisters' original title, “Good Morning to All”.

　　After Mildred died in 1916, Patty, together with a third sister named Jessica, took Mr Coleman to court. In court, they proved that they, indeed（确定）, owned the melody（曲调）. Because the family legally owns the song, it is entitled to royalties（版税）from it, whenever it is sung for commercial（商业的）purposes.

(1)The first verse of the song was written for ________.

[　　]

A．Patty Hill's children

B．Mildred Hill's children

C．Mr Coleman's students

D．the students in a kindergarten

(2)Mr Coleman published the song and added a second verse in ________.

[　　]

(3)What does the underlined word “soured”probably mean?

[　　]

A．Had an unpleasant taste.

B．Got angry easily.

C．Became unpleasant.

D．Turned out well.

(4)Which of the following statements is NOT true?

[　　]

A．With permission from the Hill sisters, Mr Coleman published the song and added a second verse to the song.

B．The second verse made the song popular and, at last, the first verse disappeared.

C．Patty and Jessica took Robert H. Coleman to court after Mildred died.

D．The Hill's family legally owns the melody.

　　Some houses are designed to be smart. Others have smart designs. An example of the second type of house won an Award of Excellence from the American Institute of Architects.

　　Located on the shore of Sullivan's Island off the coast of South Carolina, the award-winning cube-shaped beach house was built to replace one smashed to pieces by Hurricane Hugo 10 years ago. In September 1989, Hugo struck South Carolina, killing 18 people and damaging or destroying 36,000 homes in the state.

　　Before Hugo, many new houses built along South Carolina's shoreline were poorly constructed, and enforcement of building codes weren't strict, according to architect Ray Huff, who created the cleverly-designed beach house. In Hugo's wake, all new shoreline houses are required to meet stricter, better-enforced codes. The new beach house on Sullivan's Island should be able to withstand a Category 3 hurricane with peak winds of 179 to 209 kilometers per hour.

　　At first sight, the house on Sullivan's Island looks anything but hurricane-proof. Its redwood shell makes it resemble “a large party lantern” at night, according to one observer. But looks can be deceiving. The house's wooden frame is reinforced with long steel rods to give it extra strength.

　　To further protect the house from hurricane damage, Huff raised it 2.7 meters off the ground on timber pilings-long, slender columns of wood anchored deep in the sand. Pilings might appear insecure, but they are strong enough to support the weight of the house. They also elevate the house above storm surges. The pilings allow the surges to run under the house instead of running into it. “These swells of water come ashore at tremendous speeds and cause most of the damage done to beach-front buildings,” said Huff.

　　Huff designed the timber pilings to be partially concealed by the house's ground-to-roof shell. “The shell masks the pilings so that the house doesn't look like it's standing with its pant legs pulled up,” said Huff. In the event of a storm surge, the shell should break apart and let the waves rush under the house, the architect explained.

1．After the tragedy caused by Hurricane Hugo, new houses built along South Carolina's shoreline are required ________.

[　　]

A．to be easily reinforced B.. to look smarter in design

C．to meet stricter building standards

D．to be designed in the shape of cubes

2．The award-winning beach house is quite strong because ________.

[　　]

A．it is strengthened by steel rods

B．it is made of redwood

C．it is in the shape, of a shell

D．it is built with timber arid concrete

3．Huff raised the house 2.7 meters off the ground on timber piling inn order to ________.

[　　]

A．withstand peak winds of about 200 kin/hr

B．anchor stronger pilings deep in the sand

C．break huge sea waves into smaller ones

D．prevent water from rushing into the house

4．The main function of the shell is ________.

[　　]

A．to strengthen the pilings of the house

B．to give the house a better appearance

C．to protect the wooden frame of the house

D．to slow down the speed of the swelling water

5．It can be inferred from the passage that the shell should be ________.

[　　]

(1)The first verse of the song was written for ________.

[　　]

A．Patty Hill's children

B．Mildred Hill's children

C．Became unpleasant.

D．Turned out well.

(4)Which of the following statements is NOT true?

[　　]

A．With permission from the Hill sisters, Mr Coleman published the song and added a second verse to the song.

B．The second verse made the song popular and, at last, the first verse disappeared.

　　Peek－the real-life“savant”on whom Dustin Hoffman’s character in the film Rain Man is based knows 9,000 books off by heart; he can direct people around US cities from maps he has memorized years ago; and he has total recall of the dates of all major world events．

　　Now studies of Peek’s abilities are being used by scientists to shed light on the human mind, and to open the way for men and women to exploit(利用)far more of their intellectual potential, as the latest issue of Scientific American reveals．

　　“Kin’s story tells us that the human brain is far more flexible than we had thought,”said Darold Treffert, a psychiatrist(心理学家)of the Scientific American Paper and told The Observe．

　　“Like many other savants, he has suffered disability in one area of his brain, but has been rewarded by acquiring remarkable new abilities in other areas．This shows we all have considerable hidden intellectual potential．By studying Kim and other savants, we can learn how to develop those powers．”

　　Kin, now 54, was born with a malformed cerebullum(畸形的小脑),and at the base of his brain, lacks a corpus calosum(数据储存区), the thick bundle of nerves that normally connects the brain’s two hemispheres(半球)．In 1988 he was given an IQ rating of 87, well below the average．

　　Kin has poor physical condition, cannot button his shirts but has remarkable memory power and has started to develop as an accomplished pianist in the last two years．This latest development－in a man in his 50s with large chunks of his brain missing－is particularly significant, added Treffert．“His brain is still adapting to his condition, even in mid-life”．

　　“He remembers 98 percent of what he reads,”said his father Fran．“It’s like down loading data on a hard disk－expect his never crashes．”

　　Here is a question that every person(even you)should think about what you will leave behind when you die．"I'm too young to think about that, " you may say．Wrong! Perhaps your mind goes to the 　　1　　 assets that you hope to acquire in the future-erhaps a house, a car, or a bank account．Sure, those things may be further down the road, but if you have an email address, own a collection of digital music and movies, use a social networking site, have an online photo album, or write a blog, then you are the proud owner of what is now being called 　　2　　 "assets"．We all naturally assume that our possession will go to our loved ones when we die, At some point, you'll probably even write a will which states who should inherit what．People are now starting to realize that simply listing our material possessions may not be enough．Researchers at the University of London recently 　　3　　 that more and more Britons are now deciding who should get their digital photos, music, videos and so on-the "digital inheritance．"

　　What about passwords to online accounts? Wouldn't this naturally be 　　4　　 to your next of kin? Absolutely not! Privacy laws around the world 　　5　　 to protect the privacy of the deceased over the desire of the family to retrieve their loved one's personal information．A Ms．Wang of Shenyang, China recently discovered this when she tried to 　　6　　 her dead husband's QQ account．Tencent, the operator of QQ, 　　7　　 her request based on their terms of use, which states "the right to use an account belongs solely to the 　　8　　 applicant, and this right shall not be 　　9　　, loaned, rented, transferred or sold．" Since Ms．Wang's husband had not given her his password before his death, she had no foot to stand on．
